Email the PDF to [data@itascabooks.com](mailto:data@itascabooks.com), and we’ll submit it to Amazon. We recommend using Google Drive or WeTransfer to send large files. We will charge an additional  fee to upload “Search Inside” data to Amazon. To submit your "Search Inside" file for Amazon, we'll need a single PDF of the entire book, from the front cover to the back cover - all single pages (not duplexed), and in page order. Try to keep the file size under 350 megabytes, or it may cause Amazon's servers to time out. Amazon will only display the front cover and a number of pages (depending on the page count) sequentially, starting with the front cover. This can be problematic for illustrated kids' books and books with small page counts, since the first several pages are either printed endsheets, blank pages, or copyright/title pages. This frequently means that only the first few pages of the title will be visible. To prevent that from happening, remove any blank pages, endsheets, title pages, etc., before the PDF is submitted to us (it's best to keep your copyright page in the PDF you're sending us). DO NOT send the individual components, we only need one complete PDF of the entire book, from the front cover to the back cover. Unfortunately, we have no control over what Amazon keeps or removes from the Search Inside file when it's uploaded, and cannot communicate with them about page selection. - [Book Calculators](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/book-calculators?hsLang=en) - [File Guidelines](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/file-guidelines?hsLang=en) - [Stacks Print Run & Dropship Manager](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/stacks-print-run-dropship-manager?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Stacks Drophip Manager](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/stacks-print-run-dropship-manager?hsLang=en#stacks-drophip-manager) - [Schedule](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/schedule?hsLang=en) - [General Info and Capabilities](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/general-info-and-capabilities?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Hardcovers](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/general-info-and-capabilities?hsLang=en#hardcovers) - [Wire-O and Plastic Spiral Binding](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/general-info-and-capabilities?hsLang=en#wire-o-and-plastic-spiral-binding) - [Saddle Stitch](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/general-info-and-capabilities?hsLang=en#saddle-stitch) - [Print](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/general-info-and-capabilities?hsLang=en#print) - [Proofs](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/proofs?hsLang=en) - [Materials and Options](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/materials-and-options?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Cover stocks](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/materials-and-options?hsLang=en#cover-stocks) - [Plastic Spiral and Wire-O](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/materials-and-options?hsLang=en#plastic-spiral-and-wire-o) - [Hardcover Materials](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/materials-and-options?hsLang=en#hardcover-materials) - [Itasca Books, Print Distribution to the Trade](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/itasca-books-print-distribution-to-the-trade?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Amazon](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/itasca-books-print-distribution-to-the-trade?hsLang=en#amazon) - [About Itasca, General Info](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/itasca-books-print-distribution-to-the-trade?hsLang=en#about-itasca-general-info) - [FAQs](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/itasca-books-print-distribution-to-the-trade?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Title Information & Metadata](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/itasca-books-print-distribution-to-the-trade?hsLang=en#title-information-metadata) - [For Bookstores and Libraries](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/itasca-books-print-distribution-to-the-trade?hsLang=en#for-bookstores-and-libraries) - [SPD Publishers Moving to Itasca Books](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/itasca-books-print-distribution-to-the-trade?hsLang=en#spd-publishers-moving-to-itasca-books) - [Statements](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/itasca-books-print-distribution-to-the-trade?hsLang=en#statements) - [eBooks](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/ebooks?hsLang=en#main-content) - [eBook Distribution](https://info.bookmobile.com/knowledge/ebooks?hsLang=en#ebook-distribution) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://info.bookmobile.com/hs-fs/hubfs/book-mobile-logo-1.jpg?width=102&height=24&name=book-mobile-logo-1.jpg "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.Bookmobile.com) bookmobile.com Help Center Copyright © 2026, Bookmobile
